“In the beginning of june I noticed my RAV4 would slightly pause when I pres the gas pedal and would jerk when it's suppose to automatically shift gears, my registration is due & of course I need a smog certificate. The transmission would slip only sometimes. I'm just guessing it's the transmission. Not sure yet... Of course my extra care expired 05/30/08 mileage 100,000 but my mileage is only 91,000. I figure this is going to cost me a load of money that I don't have and this car helps me get to work. …”
